Daily News for Marvel Movie

Summary

• Xbox is giving away custom Deadpool & Wolverine-themed controllers with unique sculpts and limited availability.
• Players have until August 11, 2024, to enter the Deadpool sweepstakes by following Xbox and reposting with #XboxCheekyControllerSweepstakes.
• Fans can soon pick sides in the mutants' rivalry by participating in the Wolverine controller sweepstakes on Microsoft's Instagram.

To celebrate the release of the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie – which sees Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman reprising their roles as the titular mutants as they go on a multiverse-spanning adventure that brings them into the Marvel Cinematic Universe – Xbox has been revealing custom Xbox Series X consoles and controllers as part of its latest sweepstakes. Over the years, this has become a common trend as Xbox has teamed up with various studios to promote movies, TV shows, or games, but the new Deadpool & Wolverine promotion, in particular, has something that sets it apart.
Previously, Xbox revealed the Deadpool-themed Xbox Series X, along with two very unique "cheeky" controllers that resemble the Merc with a Mouth's postérieure. Of course, the movie is called Deadpool AND Wolverine, so it would be unfair to leave out Hugh Jackman's claw-wielding mutant. Therefore, Xbox announced that it has made a controller based on "Logan’s very own Adamantium-tough tush" with a billboard in Alberta in which Deadpool declares, "My best bub's cheeks never looked so good."
The promotional image for the two controllers is signed "Designed by Deadpool xoxo" in a fourth-wall-breaking move that's in keeping with the character.

How Can Players Get Their Hands On The Deadpool & Wolverine Controllers? Players Have A Limited Time To Enter Microsoft's Sweepstakes Close To get the Deadpool & Wolverine-themed Xbox Series X, players have until August 11, 2024, to enter a sweepstakes to win it, and to do so, they must follow the Xbox page and repost with the hashtag #XboxCheekyControllerSweepstakes. This contest follows a tradition of sweepstakes projects, with a recent Xbox and Marvel collaboration celebrating the release of X-Men '97. Coincidentally, that X-Men '97 promo also featured a Wolverine controller to accompany its unique console. However, it was a simple recolor that could have been recreated on the Xbox Design Lab rather than the one featured here, which has its own unique sculpt.
Unlike the sweepstakes for the Deadpool controller, the Wolverine one is not active at the time of writing. According to Xbox's announcement, fans aged 18 and over from around the world will be able to pick sides in the two mutants' rivalry "soon" by finding the designated promotional post containing #MicrosoftCheekySweepstakes from the official Microsoft Instagram page.
Unfortunately, despite the huge fan demand following the Deadpool controller reveal, the consoles and controllers given away in these sweepstakes are never sold on the general retail market. Therefore, this may be the only chance players have to get their hands on them unless Microsoft changes its mind. While this is great for audience engagement as it makes the prize far rarer, the response to these sweepstakes shows that there would certainly be a market for such unique designs if Xbox were to sell them, even in limited quantities.
